It is difficult to ask for solidarity and support. At least for me it is.

I am currently going through a tough process, but what makes this one different is that I have to keep reminding myself that this time there are lovely people around who want to help.  And that makes a difference. An amazing difference. Its still tough to come out and ask for support, though. It is still tough to know you are asking for a favour by asking someone to listen to you rant and rave for an hour… even when you’ve gladly done it for them. 

It is scary, removing all those layers of alone-ness!
